Elves

There exists a great Elven federation in the Islands to the west of Torlan. This federation largely abhors magic, seeing it as a necessary evil, but a dangerous thing to be held at arms distance as much as possible.

Many of them live simple contemplative lives, meditating on great mysteries all of their days. Those who crave adventure take to the distinctive elven ships, as traders, pirate hunters, or explorers.

The pirate hunters make up the elves primary military force, while the explorers range throughout the entire world. (Wood elf)

There also exist a sect of mystic elves in the far west of Kentar, who embrace the magic that their seafaring brethren abandoned, creating amazing works in a reality almost incomprehensible to normal humanity. (High elf)

One of the islands, a sanctuary of magic users and technologists, sank below the sea many years ago. In doing so, they pierced the ocean floor and discovered a great network of underground tunnels. Thus were born the Drow, or dark elves.
